In 2025, Cabot generated a total of 178,930metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 25.33% of Cabot's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 74.67% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2025, Cabot reported a total waste generation of 178,930 metric tonnes, of which 25.33% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that Cabot is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Since 2023, Cabot's total waste generation decreased by 4.52%, including a further 17.32% drop in 2025, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.a
Over the same period, Cabot's waste recovery rate increased by 68.35%, including a 62.2% rise in 2025, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, Cabot has made measurable progress in reducing its waste generation while strengthening recovery systems. This dual improvement indicates a mature and proactive approach to environmental performance.
In 2025, Cabot generated a total of 178,930 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 72.29% of Cabot's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment.27.72% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2023, Cabot's total waste generation decreased by 4.52%, with an additional 17.32% decline in 2025, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.a
Over the same period, Cabot's hazardous waste share remained stable both over the long term and in 2025, reflecting consistent but static performance in managing hazardous materials.a
Overall, Cabot has successfully reduced waste output over time, but has not significantly altered the hazardous composition of its waste stream, suggesting that deeper process changes may still be needed.a
In 2025, Cabot reported that 129,340 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 72.29% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Only 5.33% of hazardous waste was recovered, meaning the vast majority was treated through disposal methods such as landfilling or incineration. This raises concerns about the environmental and health risks associated with Cabot’s current hazardous waste practices.a
